using the attachments
knife blade/ dough tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The
length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.
For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry
making, chopping raw and cooked meat,
vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing
soups and to also make crumbs from
biscuits and bread. It can also be used for
yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool is
not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.

●
Cut food such as meat, bread,
vegetables into cubes approximately
2cm/
3
⁄4in before processing.
●
Biscuits should be broken into pieces
and added down the feed tube whilst the
machine is running.
●
When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into
2cm/
3
⁄4in.cubes.
●
Take care not to over-process.
d
ough tool
●
Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the
feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth
e
lastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.
●
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
u
nstable.
twin beater geared whisk
Use for light mixtures only eg egg whites,
c
ream, evaporated milk and for whisking
eggs and sugar for fatless sponges.
Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour
w
ill damage it.
using the whisk
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Push each beater securely into the drive
head .
3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it
drops over the drive shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre
of the lid.
6 Switch on.
important
●
The whisk is not suitable for making one-stage cakes or
creaming fat and sugar as these mixes will damage it. Always
use the knife blade for cake making.
hints
●
Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room
temperature.
●
Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease
before whisking.
maxi-blend canopy
When blending liquids, use the maxi-
blend canopy with the knife blade. It
allows you to increase the liquid
processing capacity from 1 litre to 1.5
litres, prevents leaking and improves
the chopping performance of the blade.
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Fit the knife blade.
3 Add ingredients to be processed.
4 Fit the canopy over the top of the blade
ensuring it sits on the ledge inside the
bowl . Do not push down on the
canopy, hold by the centre grip.
5 Fit the lid and switch on.
